Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

Angel Season 4 dvds coming out September 7th!!

Jesus, what's up with the expression on DBs face on the cover? It looks like he just threw up in his mouth a little. Probably meta-commentary on St. Cordy arc.

Art Crawl!!!

He does!

And look at the weirdly gleeful vamp-face in the corner.

(And I'm sad that my double-post that I deleted was the cool number: 2020.)

They're reshowing the early series of "Buffy" in the UK, and I've realised why "Angel" had to end - in the last year or so DB has become far too chubby. In the penultimate ep - Angel and Spike in Rome - where we get a flashback to them being chained to the ceiling, JM wore only shorts while DB was given an undershirt, obviously to hide his flabby chest. Come to think of it, while we used to get a glimpse of Angel's naked torso in almost every other ep, we haven't been allowed to see it for a long time. I suppose a fat vampire is conceivable, but a fat romantic vampire - no!

I talked to David at a convention in May. If he was still chubby as the final episodes of the show were being shot, I want the info on the weight loss program he used to arrive where I saw him over the space of a couple of months.

When he was Buffy's platonic boyfriend Angel had dramatically hollow cheeks. As CEO of Wolfram and Hart he was almost jowly.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

This sounds like a guy version of the "Tara is fat" debate. By TV standards, he looked a little big, and he's definitely gained weight since his Buffy debut. But by normal human standards he looks great.

Hmm. In S1 and some of S2 Buffy, I thought DB looked way too thin. He was a wee bit chunky in S3, but he looked great in S5.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

That's the problem. Normal human standards don't apply to vampires . He was so clearly older, and fatter (which is hardly suprising - I'm older and fatter than I was when Buffy began) that I agree it was starting to be a bit jarring

Quality trolling, Dai.

Yeah, the fact that he breathed was really annoying, too. Broke the fourth wall with every exhale.
